Flypaste Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Monday, May 18, 2009Eagles' Johnson undergoing chemo By Sal Paolantonio ESPN.com Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson is taking a leave of absence. Johnson is beginning a second round of chemotherapy to deal with cancer that has confined him to a wheel chair. Johnson won't coach at the upcoming Organized Team Activities, a three day rookie camp beginning Wednesday. "I told him to take care of himself first, and when he's ready to come back, come back." Eagles coach Andy Reid said Monday. "I'd like to tell you he's great, but he's not. He's struggling right now," said Reid, who said he talks to Johnson every day on the telephone. "I told him, when you feel like it, come back." Sean McDermott will coach the defense in the interim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
